PENDULUM OBSERVATIONS.

Professor w. ID. Alexander recently
returned from Maui, where he had been
engaged with Mr. f.. ID. Preston, of the
United States Coast Survey, in making
pendulum observations on the summit Of
the extinct crater of HalcakaIa. 1t was
one of the most arduOus pieces of work
the Professor had ever undertaken, from
the fact OF so many valuable and delicate
instruments having to be carried such a
distance. Observations were first taken
at Haiku, an old deserted mill being
used for the work
Arriving at the summit of Haleakala,
ten thousand feet above the level
of the sea, the party expe-
rienced very cold weather and had
plenty of ice. Fortunately, the Pro-
lessor took with him kerosene oil
stove, and that helped to keep them
warm. A small stone pier was. built up
with cement, and in this the pendulum
was swung. On one side of the pier was
small glass window to enable them to
see the pendulum. The party were on
the summit nearly two weeks, and the
work was most successful. On the sum
NIT the pendulum swung forty-one
times less in twenty-four hours than at
the sea level The distance between
the two points is just about two miles
These observations will find the density
of the mountain.
A large number of men, mules and
horses had to be called into requisition
to carry out this work. All the instru-
ments were carried up and down without
any accident whatever

The Piute Turns an Honest Penny.

a Piute Indian recently appeared in Vir-
gInla City, New, with two large sacks Of
goose and duck feathers, which he was willing
TO exchange for coin. The sacks were stuffed
till they We're. as round and plump as a
bologna sausage, and apparently weighing
many pounds. The Indian considered it
recommendation to say that the feathers were
all white and the product of big goosen." In
these latter days even the Piute is beginning
to have an eye to the turning of an honest
penny. Formerly the only use be found for
feathers was as decoration for his warlike
topknot Now he puts them in a sack and
peddIcs them among the pale faces. Chi

A Family Necessity.

The way to mems hearts is down
their Threats, or l mistake mankind" is
an axiom which there is no gainsaying
and with equal truth it may be said that
whatever most contributes to the facili-
ties for thus gaining mans esteem and
appreciation secures a lasting place in
the hearts of women, or, at least, those
having the comfort and happiness of
their liege lords in view, and what good
housewife has not? Promising thus, it
is only necessary TO say that no one
thing combines so many of the elements
calculated to accomplish this laudable
purpose as a good cook-stove or range,
and none so entirely meet the indica-
tons implied above as the Golden Anvil
wrought steel cooking rarges, lately in
troduced into this city by the Pacific
Hardware Company. Call at their store
and examine one.

same time of Mrs. Julia Dent Grant, the
widow of ex-President Grant, and of Mrs.
Cleveland, the present lady of the White

suggested that perhaps it might be as agreea-
BILE to the ladies concerned, as it certainly
would be gratifying to those who might visit
them, if all the ladies now living who have at
any time presided at the executive mansion
could assemble at the national capital and
hold a reception together i'll the White House

Attorney General GarIand's Luck.

How on earth did such bright fellow as
Garland come to live at such place as HON.
my HIP asked an admirer of the attorney
general of ali Arkansas traveller the other
day. cts as bad as Podunk Kalamazoo,
Kokomo, Oshkosh, or Chatham Four Corn

"Iu tell you." said the other. "Hominy
Hill is not, as everybody supposes, a town.
It's an old time sacred name given the farm
Garland owns near Little Rock Garland
gets his mail at Little Rock, and is for ali
practical purposes resident Of that place.
They worship him there There is a queer
story Of how he happened to settle at that
place. He was living in Washington, little.
unthrifty place, where his parents settled,
when he was admitted to the bar. 1t was no
place for rising lawyer. One day he aston
ished his office chum by asking him TO tie
handkerchief around his eyes His friend
complied Garland took pencil in his hand,
stepped up to map of the state, whirled his
hand around three times and jabbed the
pencil at the map. There, said the young
lawyer, unite this hard knot and I'll tell you
what 1 am doing I'm sick of this town.
I'm going to move to where my pencil struck
the map. If it's town, I'll practice law; if
it's country, I'll farm it; if it's river I'll go to
steamboating' The pencil had struck Little
Rock, and there he went. a. H. Garland

ADAM AND HIS WIFE.
Eve Spoken of as a Lady Who Had
Come OF Excellent stock.

Come OF Excellent stock.
In appearance Eve was exceedingly
gracious aud beautiful, full Of reticence aud
dignity people always spoke of her as lady,
and whispered TO one another that she had
come Of good stock. To her husband she was
full Of a wistfUl courtesy: it seemed as if liz
had made some sacrifice in marrying her, and
her devotion was mingled with gratitude. In
Adam there was less that was peculiar than
in his wife. He would stand often on his
threshold in the evening and look out He
had forgotten that centuries had passed by,
and was still yearning tor the return Of his
first bOrn-the wanderer 1t was Eve who
in the spring tide turned to the meadow
where the lambs were playing, and she always
went alone. When she came back she would
pat her arms around her husbands neck and
kiss him. He did not understand that she
was come from a grave but he was grateful
for the kiss, and drew her away to look at the
young sprouting blades of corn. He had be-
come a husbandman aud was skilled in the
tilIing of the ground.
Eve never looked happier than when he
came home hot and hungry from working In
the fields. She loved TO set his meal, lay her
head on his knee, and listen to his talk of the
wonderful new ways of raising crops and
planting vineyards He was busy and con-
tented, and there was no regret in his face.
But their conversation did not always turn
on commonplace matters. On winter even
ings they often discussed ancient history, and
showed familiar acquaintance with the
stories we now read in the early chapters of
Genesis. Sometimes they would quarrel and
grow sullen, or violently disagree. Then
Adams voice would be heard in reproach, OF
Ewes in contention, and Adam would walk
out and lean against the old swing gate that
seemed to be the natural boundary of his
little domain
When Eve saw him leaning against the gate
and apparently forgetful of her, she would
steal up TO him softly and they would walk
home together, new light in their eyes, All
age had passed from their faces, and there
was majesty i'll their least caressing touch,
for they had no suspicion of intruders, and
thought only of each other. After these
hours of reconciliation they would speak of
quite another time in their lives, when evil
IDENTIFY there had been deep accord between
them; then, and then only, was Eve heard to
laugh-a silvery, ringing laugh, full Of I'M
imaginable mirth, and Adam drunk with
the witchery, would grow eloquent and ten

The "basket sociable," popular in
Texas, is described as follows: each
young lady is to provide a handsome
basket containing lunch for two. These
baskets will be for sale to the gentle
men present. and each purchaser will
be entitled to the privilege of entertain
ing for the evening the lady whose
name he will find in the basket" The
New Orleans Picayune regards this as
a dandy scheme. 1t gives the girl a
chance to eat part of the contents of her
own basket, with young man thrown
in. The young men find that the home
lest girls always have the best lunch,
and that sort of evens up things.
William Mard, of Chatford, Pa.

seeing nice black dog that looked very
much like his Rover, decided to steal it
and have pair. He called the dog to
him and put it into his wagon and care
fully covered it up with buffalo robe
in order to hide it from the view OF
passers-by and, perchance, its owner.
On arriving at home Mard took the
brute into the house and improvised .
comfortable bed for it. The next MORN
ing William discovered that his own
Rover had followed him to Centerville
